[TheList] DSDPlus and fmp24

Sat Apr 25 10:04:46 AEST 2020

I have been trying hard with the Vital t3 network in South Canterbury for a
very long time now but over the last 1 month I have literally heard 2
transmissions.
It just doesn't seem to be utilized quite yet outside of cities.

It is working properly and I do get the ERR messages. It's just not busy at
all.
There are often alot of other background messages that pop up about REG and
REREG etc, that's how I know it's somehow working.

Once they transfer over from MPT to T3 it will be a very busy network so
watch that space.

And on the other subject of the police interference,  I bloody hope police
down south don't get the idea to go digital, I know its hilly, I know its
rugged and probably wouldn't work but with some effort it could.

I was once listening to the Otago channel and police had a huge issue on
evening with what sounded like Asian tourists in queenstown, they were
shopping and coming over the police channel for Otago. Seems they may have
been transmitting on the right frequency for the repeater receiver but they
couldn't hear the police talking to them. Was a massive issue for them.

Otherwise I've heard the Dunedin interference and it's not as common, it
comes and goes but doesn't really hang around for long periods unless
that's changed.
